There are more wireless carriers on the market right now than most people can count. Many really just offer the same cookie-cutter service with inconvenient stores and hidden fees. They talk about innovation, but raise prices and make customer service even more difficult.

At least one mobile provider is eschewing the traditional, stagnant model — Mint Mobile. The carrier has honed its focus on delivering value through innovation while maintaining a premium level of wireless service at affordable prices.

After all, Ryan Reynolds bought Mint for a reason, right?

Value through innovation

Not every consumer needs a wild unlimited plan with 100GB of wireless service, and contracts can be a pain in the neck. That’s why Mint Mobile has boiled everything down to a customer-focused model. For starters, there are no Mint Mobile retail stores to trek to, and no salesmen trying to push you one way or the other. They re-imagined the retail shopping experience to make it easy and online-only.

While you don’t have to agree to a multi-year plan, Mint Mobile has multi-month options where you can save more when you agree to stick around for a few months at a time. Within these multi-month bundles, you can pick the right level of data for you. Most Americans only use 5-6GB of data, yet so many people pay for unlimited plans they’ll never use.

As convenient as Mint Mobile can be, it might not be perfect for everyone. To make your decision as smooth as possible, Mint will let you test drive its service with a $5 starter kit that includes 100MB of data, 100 text messages, and 100 minutes of talk. If you sign up and you’re still not convinced, you can always take advantage of Mint’s seven-day unconditional money-back guarantee.

This level of value might make you think that Mint Mobile has to be sacrificing a level of coverage, but you’d be wrong. Mint Mobile relies on T-Mobile’s powerful nationwide network, which is only getting stronger thanks to the recent Sprint merger.

The power of T-Mobile’s network means you’ll have reliably fast speeds to match your unlimited nationwide talk and text. Starting at just $15 per month, you’ll be able to tap into at least 3GB of high-speed LTE data. You can increase your data cap up to 12GB with an introductory price of just $25 per month.

Another problem people worry about with some carriers is the phone selection. Once again, Mint Mobile has put the customer first with a range of affordable and modern devices. For example, the brand-new iPhone SE and Mint service cost just $30 per month combined. That means you can have Apple’s latest device and a plan in your pocket for less than most plans cost.

Sure, you can stick with your current unlimited plan and contract, but why not save some money and lose the monthly phone bill? Learn more about Mint Mobile below!
